Gloria Holland

Gloria Holland is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Mississippi with over 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Gloria also lists related issues such as attachment struggles, codependency, and caregiver stress among her areas of work.

Gloria uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns that cause distress. She pairs that with mindfulness practices to help clients slow down and notice bodily and emotional responses. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt keeps showing up in present life.

Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward. Gloria listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people try steps that feel doable. For someone stuck after a life change, she focuses on small moves that shift thinking and behavior rather than abstract promises.

Her background includes long experience with addiction and grief work, and she brings that practical experience into conversations about commitment, control issues, and blended family concerns. She also supports people dealing with aging, cancer, autism and related stressors when those topics come up.

Gloria works in English and practices in Mississippi. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Gloria’s approaches translate to online work

Gloria commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep them stuck. CBT focuses on concrete steps and experiments that can be practiced between sessions and works well for anxiety, stress, and many kinds of habits.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people become more aware of bodily sensations and emotional reactions. Mindfulness practices are brief exercises that can reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings. When past harms are central, trauma-focused therapy is used to address how those experiences affect current life and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gloria will talk with clients about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most helpful, then recommend a path to try. This is a collaborative decision and can change as work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with Gloria about what will fit into your schedule and what style of session will best support your goals.
